Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the labor law, in relation to asbestos project notification fees
Purpose
Is to waive the project notification fee when the asbestos project is funded by a municipal corporation.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 904 of the laborer law is amended by adding a new closing paragraph.
Justification
This bill will help to clear the backlog of Cit-owned vacant structures in the City of Rochester. The City of Rochester has 287 structures in line and 100 of those have already gone through asbestos abatement. New York State requires that the a municipality pay an asbestos project notification fee to the Department of Environmental Conservation for each building that is abated. The current fee is $2,000 per structure. This bill would allow a municipality to obtain a waiver to use the permit fees so that municipal or state funds are not used.
